Understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences: Trauma-Informed Care in Healthcare Settings

Tuesday, February 9, 2021, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

This intermediate lecture will ensure a foundational understanding of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the ramifications they have on both psychological and physical health, as well as morbidity in adulthood. An overview of the ways in which individuals who have suffered trauma experience and interact with the healthcare setting will be explored. Followed by an introduction to Trauma Informed Care (TIC), specifically as it relates to healthcare settings including a conceptional and organizational framework in order to better understand the ways both healthcare professionals and the health system systems in which they work can make small but meaningful steps toward becoming more trauma aware and eventually trauma informed.

This lecture is available to Beaumont Health/OUWB providers ONLY.
